Let’s say you read my modest proposal and didn’t agree with it. Not one bit. You want blood, and lots of it. If silly people with orphans are going to get in your way, that’s too bad for them, right?

I can dig. I get it. I pretty much want to kill things all the time in game too.

So let me make a second proposal. A vicious proposal.

I hereby declare next week to be the First AnnualSouthshore / Tarren Mill World PvP Free-For-All. All PvPers with blood in their eyes and rage in their hearts are hereby commanded to report to their respective towns and tear apart the opposing factions. Even if the other battlegrounds are compromised, the fields of Hillsbrad are not.

The fighting will be bloody and glorious. There will be ganking. There will be no quarter asked and none given. Blood will stain the cobblestones of those two towns next week that will be remembered for years to come.

TM was raided every single day, multiple times per day, through every horde toon I ever leveled.

If you want people to go there, drop them a link to this post and talk about it in trade for a couple of days prior. Let them know there’s a massive PvP battle going on and when. Do it for both factions, set a time. If you build it (the hype), they will come.

Southshore Tug-o-Wars, to this day still my fondest memories of PvP as a Rogue… such as during BC when I managed to gank a lvl 67 Shaman when the 12 Horde Healers and the Sea of DPS were distracted with something else or another (Certainly wasn’t other Ally toons, they had all withdrawn to the outskirts of the town)… then receiving a whisper from one of that guild’s premier Druid Arena players popped on an ally toon to say “You actually got him!”

On more balanced days, I fondly remember seeing both TM and Southshore being over run within minutes of one another, and then during Classic, when after hours of fighting for no other reason than to fight, everybody got bored or loss motivation. Rogues got bored, headed to TM and ganked the Flight Master and denying the Hordies a path to whatever raid they were planning to hit up. Minutes later, Ally flightmaster is knocked out of commission and the battle rages on, now with a reason to legitimately hate the other side.
